I use this Motul DOT 3&4.

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 can be mixed without problems. DOT 5 however is silicone based and cannot be mixed with any of the other three fluids. It's coloured purple to ensure it isn't added in error.

I think your rear brake is a similar arrangement to my 1100 Evo with an underslung caliper so, if the brake nipple is at the bottom of the caliper, then you're probably going to have to remove and flip it if you want to bleed it fully.
